The artistic centre of Ghent is divided in 4 areas:
Bijloke

The concert hall is probably the reason why you are here. It’s known for Ghent Jazz festival. In Bijloke you can also find the STAM-museum of the city of Ghent.
Zuid

Officially called 'Graaf van Vlaanderenplein'. Here you can find a big shopping centre and if you are tired of shopping you can watch a movie in Studio Skoop, the oldest cinema of Ghent or pick up a book from the library and read it in the parc (Konnig Albertpark).
Citadelpark

In the Citadelpark-site you can find the contemporary art museum ‘SMAK’.
If prefer your ears over your eyes for amusement, then I’m sure you’ll love ICC Ghent. A big building with a lounge bar and a lot of halls with all kinds of parties.
The park itself is also nice to take a walk or chill in the summer.
St. Pietersplein

They use the square for large-scale events for example the Student Kick-Off. It’s nearby the Overpoortstraat, where you can find all the students at night.
